The D.J. Wagner-Reed Sheppard showdown is off ... for now

Bad news for Louisville hoops fans who were hoping to get a live look at potential future Cardinals D.J. Wagner and Aaaron Bradshaw: The planned May 27 game at Valley High School between AAU squads Midwest Basketball Club (featuring Kentucky commit Reed Sheppard) and New Jersey Scholars has been canceled.

Former U of L great Pervis Ellison, the program director for the New Jersey Scholars, told WDRB’s Rick Bozich that a “scheduling conflict” forced the cancelation.

BUT, a Wagner/Bradshaw vs. Sheppard contest in Louisville could still happen during the upcoming high school hoops season.

“They’re already talking about trying to schedule a game between their high school teams at a showcase event in Louisville during the high school season,” Ellison said.
